During the Banquet, a cook will prepare a meal that we will enjoy after the banquet, ending in a party. For the banquet, registration is needed (see below). All guests of the Banquet will become cannibals, united by the motto: Digest the evil to create a greater good. Cannibalism will serve as a critical concept, an organic metaphor to imagine social redistribution and repair. Contributors to the menu will bring short cannibalistic scenes to the table, be it from literature, film, fine arts, theatre, performance, politics, philosophy and poetry. As a guest, the Chef welcomes you to find ‘tangible ingredients’ that inhabit your fridge, pantry or garden, especially if they are beyond your imagination how to cook with them. Do not hesitate to bring them. Locations and Registration
